Charities need regulation to maintain public's trust - The Irish Times - Wed, Dec 21, 2011
Charities need regulation to maintain public's trust - The Irish Times - Wed, Dec 21, 2011: OPINION: AT CHRISTMAS, Irish charities raise more in donations from the public than at any other time of the year. As the needs to be addressed become more acute, and charitable fundraising more sophisticated – and competitive – the public increasingly, and properly, expects transparency around financial matters and clarity about impact. Government and the non-profit sector should work harder to address this.
Non-profit organisations are perhaps the last sector in Irish society to enjoy a high degree of unconditional trust from the public. This has taken generations to build, and for the sector there is no more precious asset.

CHARITY would appear to be alive and well in Ireland, with figures out this week showing that Daffodil Day, now celebrating its 20th anniversary, raised a record €3.8m in aid of the Irish Cancer Society this year.
'There's no doubt that we're a charitable society, but it's a spontaneous thing with us,' said Kingsley Aikins, chief executive of The Worldwide Ireland Funds. 'However, there isn't a philanthropic culture of planned or strategic giving.'"
